But later today, the FBI will publicly announce its "evidence" against
Ivins, including – undoubtedly – a bunch of new, absurd allegations (see this
for a preview).

Kangaroo courts, show trials, and pre-determined verdicts are the order of
the day . . . justice is dead in America.

As important as the Hamdan and Ivins’ verdicts is the failure of Bush,
Cheney and the other criminals in the White House and elsewhere to be held accountable
for their crimes. As Congressman Waxman and others have impotently whined, "they
got away with it". The high and mighty are simply not held accountable
for their crimes anymore, even though the Constiution demands that they be impeached,
removed and prosecuted.

Note: I don’t know if Hamdan or Ivins are guilty of the crimes for which
they were charged.

What I do know is that the Constitution and the rule of the law were wholly
ignored in reaching guilty verdicts . . . the process was not followed.
Arguably, the most important phrase in the Constitution is "liberty and
justice for all". The current rulers have ripped up this guarantee enshrined
in our founding document, and turned America into a banana republic.
